 INTRODUCTION

Globalization has given opportunities to non-governmental organizations (NGOs) to emerge

on the world stage as one of the central players in the processes of promotion and protection
of human rights around the world. The emergence of new actors in the human rights field
raises questions not only about their impact on the protection of human rights, but also their
impact on the state, which for a long time has had a monopoly on deciding how to treat its
citizens.

AIMS AND OBJECTIVES

Human rights NGO’s play an important role in upholding human rights, as envisaged under
the United Nations Declarations of Human Rights and other human rights instruments. They
put pressure on Government and compel them to enforce human rights of persons and be
vigilant in order to prevent infringement of these rights. So this project paves way in
understanding the roles of these NGO’s in safeguarding those human rights and
understanding their working mechanism and also how far they have been successful.

RESEARCH QUESTIONS

 What is the input of NGOs in protecting human rights? Do their activities lead to real
improvements in human rights practices within a state?.
 What is the role of NGO’s in sensitizing and protecting human rights?
 How these NGO’s work towards protecting Human rights and emerged as one of
institutions to be looked upon when any such violation happens?
